Redemption Lies Plainly in Truth by UppiePuppy

Summary
The blades of the scissors were at the stranger’s throat in a moment, pressing just enough to push the skin inward, but not so hard as to draw blood. Leonardo’s eyes met the other’s.
“Where am I? What have you done to my brothers?” His voice was hoarse and rasping, and talking made his throat sting, but he didn’t spare it a single thought as he stared down the other turtle. He heard one of the others cry out, and a bright red glow filled the room, but his attention was focused exclusively on the one in front of him.
The stranger looked entirely unimpressed. He hadn’t even tensed up when he was grabbed, and he was still relaxed even with a sharp blade pressed to his throat. He grinned, something so cocky and casual that it almost made Leonardo falter. “You’re in my medbay, and I know nothing about any brothers of yours. You’re the only turtle we’ve found.”
“So you’re what? Some android? Some kind of Kraang trick, like April’s friend? Are you supposed to be me?” He scowled and pressed the scissors harder against the throat in front of him. “It’s a poor imitation. I could take you out right now.”

Donatello's Impromptu Method of (Literally) 'Winging It' by NighttimeWishes

Summary
Donnie just injected unknown mutagens into his bloodstream.
It seemed a good idea at the time (approximately five minutes ago). He can’t remember his logic now, mostly because he didn’t write it down. It was probably something about reversing mutations. Whatever, it doesn’t matter anymore.
He cannot tell a living soul about this incident.
[A surprisingly fluffy story about Donatello accidentally mutating himself and realizing how much his family loves him.]

two lies and a truth by TheFifthPevensieChild
Fandoms: Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Cartoon 2018)
11 May 2024
Tags
Summary
A flash of hurt crossed his twin’s face, and Donnie swallowed hard against the guilt. Whatever. It didn’t matter. Once they broke this thing, Donnie could fix that—
“Gee,” Leo muttered, half-smirking in a clear attempt to save face, “tell me what you really think.”
It was a statement that was clearly not meant to actually be directed at Donnie. It was not genuinely meant to elicit a response. And yet, words bubbled up in Donnie’s throat, and no matter how much he grit his teeth and clenched his jaw, he said them anyway. “I don’t like you,” he blurted out, digging his nails into the palm of his hand.

Or, Donnie gets hit with a compulsory lying spell. It doesn't seem like that big of a deal until it really, really is.

Summary
A loud crash from outside his room makes Leo look up to his curtain door. With three brothers, the sound is not uncommon.
“Leonardo!”
Leo jumps at the sudden shout. Was that Donnie? Yelling his name?!
Nothing good ever comes from his twin yelling his name. This cannot be good.
Or: Donnie is tired of glasses. He finds a solution. Leo is the only one who can help him.

Summary
The hand in his squeezed. “You’re okay,” April said, her voice wobbling dangerously. “We’re gonna be okay. I’ve got you. Can you tell me what you remember?”
He blinked slowly, furrowing his brow. Swallowing was a struggle. His chest twinged. He felt embarrassed when he whispered, “I don’t…”
“That’s okay,” she soothed. “I… I’m sorry for not being here sooner. The guys, they told me what was going on. They told me everything.”
Donnie stared at her blankly, trying to piece together what she meant. Everything. What was everything supposed to mean?
Oh.
It slammed into him all at once. The large hand shattering his wrist, his head cracking against the floor, screaming as Leo ran his blade through his shoulder, Raph ripping through his shell like paper, dragging him back by the ankle, shattering his plastron, hands around his throat, squeezing, being dizzy and delirious and terrified and begging—
They’d tried to kill him. They’d tried to kill him and she knew.

Summary
“Hey!” Donnie stomped his foot on the ramp. “I don’t know what kind of prank this is, but it isn’t funny.”
“This isn’t a prank, Dee,” said Leo, his voice nonchalant. “We took a vote, and you’re out.”
“That isn’t how this works!” Donnie took a step toward them. He could feel his muscles tensing, like he was bracing for impact. “You can’t just throw me out with a vote.”
“Well then, how about this,” Raph said, and Donnie shrank back as he stepped up.
In all his life, Raph had never made him feel so small.
“You’re out, Donnie. Leader’s orders.”
His brothers think they don't need him anymore? Well, fine. He doesn't need them either.
The old Donatello is gone. He'll build a new one. One that will make them regret they ever threw him aside.
Building things is what he's good at, after all.

Hold On (Or Three Times Donatello's Soft Shell Almost Killed Him, and One Time it Saved His Life) by dunk_on_em (the_author_at_221B)

Summary
The word "soft" has a lot of different meanings.
It can refer to something that is comfortable or it can refer to someone who is much too kind-hearted.
In Donatello's case, the word "soft" meant yielding, pliable, delicate, fine, breakable.
Oh so very breakable.

But he was also a soft-shelled turtle.
And soft-shelled turtles bite.

Summary
It was Donnie's idea to come scavenge for all of his broken (useless) tech, but now he's just standing here staring at the scattered vestiges of what is essentially his life's work. All the time designing and building weapons, and for what? The Shredder tore through all of it like paper. Donnie put on a battle shell to come out, even though Leo told him not to because of the bruising, and it's starting to hurt. It suddenly feels like it's weighing him down, like his legs might collapse underneath him any second, and he can't move.
"Donnie?" Mikey leans into his line of sight, looking worried. He grabs Donnie's arm and gives it a little shake, and Donnie's arm moves limply. "Are you stuck?"
Donnie spends a good minute trying to get his mouth to work, "Y-yes."
/Donnie hyperfixates on a thing (as one does) and gives himself a panic attack. Allegedly.

Summary
"Apologies." Donnie said, stiffly, and willingly rolled his sleeve up for Leo to see. "It appears that working on the engine reopened the injury on my arm."
"What 'injury'?" Leo echoed stepping forward again and furrowing his brow as he inspected the arm Donnie held out. Careful partial roll of the sleeve. "Why the hell didn't you tell me? And why isn't it bandaged?"
"It was a minor burn." Donnie said, and it felt like his throat was scorched and burned with how hard it was to speak. "I ran it under cold water. It wasn't a big deal."

Summary
Donnie was predictably in his lab, the muffled thud-thud-thud of synth music just barely leaking through the soundproofing. Leo pulled on the door and found it locked. It was the middle of the night and he didn't want to wake everyone else by pounding on it, so he pulled out his phone and texted Donnie, 'knock knock'
Donnie replied instantaneously, 'Who's there?'
Leo smirked. 'doris'
'Doris who?'
'doris is locked, why do you think i'm knocking'
The music cut. Donnie opened the heavy door and said, "That's terrible."
"But effective." Leo replied, hands in his pockets, easy smile, even as his heart sunk like a rock at the sight before him.

Summary
Raph stayed awake watching over him, thrumming with anxiety over his brother in distress, and did not consider for even a moment that this wasn't natural. That everyone else didn't intuitively know exactly how their little brothers felt, all the way down to their bones. They were his whole wide world – of course he could. He couldn't imagine not knowing the beat of their heart as well as his own.

Summary
Raphael was trembling, already tearing up again. He was shaking with the force of his growl, and his eyes only seemed to sharpen when they locked with Splinter's.
Leonardo's snarling had been in-the-moment, defensive paranoia. Splinter was interchangeable from everyone else— all he had wanted was to get away, to hide, not to hurt. Raphael knew exactly who he was looking at, and he was furiously protective anyway.
He was not afraid to hurt him if he had to, to protect the boys that it had always been Splinter's duty to protect.
Splinter could not help but feel like he had done something irreconcilably wrong.
(or: the boys are hit by a mystic pollen that heightens their paranoia. to take care of them, splinter is forced to confront some uncomfortable truths about them; and more importantly, about himself.)

Summary
Alternative title: Batfam Vs. Mad Dogs
____While New York is getting rebuilt post-Kraang, April still has to finish her general education classes if she has any hopes of getting to see the inside of the journalism building. Thankfully unthankfully, Riddler University has an opening that she can take. Hell, she may even end up liking it.
The turtles, recently healed from the battle of (hopefully) a lifetime, soon get the chance to visit her. From there, all chaos breaks loose. Namely in the form of pride, queer awakenings, and a lie that soon blows up.
____I cannot picture a ROTTMNT and Batman crossover with anything less than a universe with a comedic and chaotic edge, thus this crossover was born.

Summary
They hadn’t told him, but Donnie had eyes. He could observe it. He wasn’t asking for thanks or open appreciation— he knew people only did that when they wanted something more from him or wanted to hurt him. Knowing they were content without him because of his actions was all that mattered.
(He missed praise. He missed turtle piles, and pizza weeks, and movie nights where they watched his favorites and actually engaged with them. He missed karaoke and DDR and biweekly Powerpoint nights where he deliberately picked the most moronic topic to rant about like a madman, just to revel in the sound of Leo shrieking with laughter.
And God, he missed S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N, so so much. Something had broken in him when he’d found his AI chip in the rubble, unsalvageable. Something about the grief of it all had made everything feel worthless. Even if he yearned for it—that didn’t really matter anymore, did it? It was gone.)
(or: in the middle of building their new lair, donnie is cursed. not wanting to slow himself down, he resolves to keep it from his family.
little does he know, that is the exact problem that got him cursed in the first place.)
